Asked for cash on pick up but they paid by Paypal

[bright.ton42]

I don't like being paid by PP for a pick up only, but they've just done it.

Nothing I can do really is there.   I mean Paypal has to be offered doesn't it.

Trouble is this buyer had previously tried to buy off ebay and I'd said can't be done as it was listed. .

Told her it needs collecting in a couple of days but no communication and she's got bad feedback.

Nothing to do is there.  But I'm in process of moving nd need the space.

Even if you've refunded the buyer they can still leave feedback if they know how to by going into "feedback forum", hopefully they don't know that or you could end up with a red dot for your trouble.

Keep those messages, Bright.

If they give you a red dot, ebay can read those messages about buying 'off ebay'

and they should remove any neg  that you get

Well I've refunded them , told them they were impolite not to respond to me, and told them to pick up by tomorrow with cash or forget it.  A bit of a weirdo this one,    they offered me $25 'off' ebay, so I said to wait as it was againstg the rules, also that  they might get the opening bid of $20, which they did, and they bid    and won.    Then dead silence. 

It's worth paying the FVF just to be rid of them.  :

How right you are.

It makes you wonder how sincere their offer of $25 was if they won't pick up for $20 .

Well the latest chapter in the story.......    they've emailed and want my phone number (which I'd given them) and said will pick up by tonight.      Apologised, as 'emails are playing up '  .   Whatevs.

As far as a neg goes hopefully i won't get it as it is pickup but honestly if i do like with the FVF  it's worth it.  Some ppl do my head in.  Stawks all the messages are via ebay. 

Tell ya what if i was a regular seller I'd need to go onto meds.

Take care to observe the precautions that have been outlined above and you should be OK.

Maybe even have a third party present when they show up.

Clarry the OP has refunded the Paypal payment and the buyer is going to pay cash.

I wonder how many other sellers can say, hand on heart, that they would not have taken the $25 outside of ebay and then just cancelled the listing????

[clarry100]

Oh yeah PJ, missed that post by the OP.
LOL

I don't understand what you're saying?  I wasn't being virtuous, I just didn't trust them. 

[bright.ton42]

Well the last chapter....   they didn't come lol.

btw clarry and phorum are you having a go at me or something, if so why?

[clarry100]

Not sure why you would think I'm having a go at you over something.
PJ was pointing out something I had not read in an earlier post from you and I was acknowledging that was all.
I never do the "have a go thing" at any time.
